These are the way service providers cheat people and nobody is doing anything about it: 1. Wallpapers: Rs.10. All kids use it. Making wallpapers costs nothing in your PC, why buy from these wolfs? You can get tonnes on the net and even make your own using any photo editor. 2. Same for ring tones. It is ridiculous that a 30 sec. ringtone costs more than a full fledged song! 3. Tempting the consumer to click hot links and debit their acount. Sometimes you click hotlinks accidently and you are charged. 4. Claiming Rs. 1 per call but actual cost to consumer is much more if you calculate the hidden costs. 5. Luring consumers with low rates and later on jack up the price. Rember Reliance Mobiles 10 Paise call? 6. Charging consumers for helpline calls at a very high call rates. Not all helplines are free. 7. Very complex set of schemes, even veteran economists will find difficult to understand and calculate actual cost per call. This only helps service providers maximize their gains due to subscriber's ignorance. It is no wonder that yeas of fleecing the hapless consumers has brought all telecom company bosses into the list of global billionaires. Govt.'s indefferent attitude will only make things bad to worse and these people will keep bloating their billions.
